H. Aull of Clemson said here to day. “The drama is perfect,” he said. “And could not have been staged with more skill. The deceit may be- unintentional but iS nonetheless reaJ. J Head of the department of agri cultural economics and sociology at Clemson,_ Doctor Aull addressed the Anderson Real Estate board. He said his ideas “are my own” an • “any resemblance to those held by any other individual or organiza-1 tion is purely coincidental.” “A general sales tax,” he said, “violates all the accepted principles of taxation. * “I have yet to discover a recog nized authority in the science of pub lic finance who advocates such a j system of raising revenue except as a, last resort and under conditions of extreme urgency. We have not reach ed that point in South Carolina. "Receipts would be a disappoint ment, He warned, “especially if we have to give up some of our selected commodity tmees.” Alternatives suggested by Doctor Aull included an end of “earmark- ing” particular funds for particular purposes, end of “diversion" of $12,- 000,000 in state revenue to counties, collection of delinquent property taxes, increase in auto license fees, reassessment of property for tax purposes, discontinuance of crown discount allowed bottles of soft drinks, lowering of income tax ex emptions to $600.

He knows style—he is traveling behind the boldest and freshest forecast of things to come that is on the roads today.

You could add that he likes power —for behind this smart forefront there’s a big bonnetful of Fireball horsepower.
